    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    You're now on /ignore, sar104, FWIW. We're well past the point of demonstrating and proving the problem. We're now on to whether or not DJI is going to do anything about it. You're just wasting folks' time, at this point. Give it a rest? You're totally happy with this drone's performance. We...

    Mavic Pro still worth it now that Mavic 2 is available?

    I don't see much improvement WRT the MP2 vs MP. We all expected great things with the 1" sensor. And in terms of an aircraft, it's probably vastly superior. But the video and images, not so much. More of the same. And well behind the P4P. This goes back to that old saw--DJI is great at the...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    It's been definitively established. It's been pretty well proven at this point that the MP2 video, especially the FOV mode, is trash. Every empirical test so far shows that it is far, far behind the P4P in quality, and no one has yet pointed, even anecdotally, to video that is comparable...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    I have to agree, Chunky. No one is asking for anything unreasonable, here, just video and stills that are comparable to the P4P, which uses the same size sensor. This reeks of intentional crippling for product differentiation, to me. I bet you'll see a new drone from DJI in a year or 18 months...

    Mavic 2 Pro IQ for Landscape Photography vs Phantom 4P, inspire 2 X7

    Thanks Dan. Certainly a surprising and disappointing result for the MP2 in stills. MP2 "4k" video so far seems well short of P4P quality, but I thought that stills would be at least as good. That's a real bummer. You mainly addressed how cleanly the shadows could be pushed in post. In good...

    Mavic Pro-2 vs Zoom and P4P - Line Skipping + Sensor Heat?

    Wow, if DJI advertises these modes as '4k', and if it can be proven that they're upscaled from 2.7k to get to 4k, they've seemingly created a huge mess for themselves, legally. You can't just capture some arbritary resolution under 4k, upscale, and sell it as 4k. Where would you draw the line...

    Mavic 2 Pro 4K HQ vs 4K FOV

    Any indication from DJI on whether they'll improve the 4k FOV mode in a firmware update? The current line-skipping method seems less than ideal. I'm looking to purchase my first drone, but the kind of stuff I'd plan to shoot lends itself more to 28mm (or even 24) rather than 40mm, so the wider...

    Anyone have a soft corner in stills?

    It's hard to tell in your samples because they're what, 2k pixels on the long edge? Web-sized images aren't incredibly useful except for demonstrating problems except in the very worst cases. If you've got one corner that's consistently and significantly weaker than the others, I'd send it in...
